Urban Farm Dinner

On Sunday, October 20, 2019, supporters, friends and community partners helped enhance urban demonstration and learning gardens by joining Groundwork Elizabeth along with special guests, the award-winning media personality Cara Di Falco and Chef Mike Carrino, for an extraordinary evening and Urban Farm Dinner.

All proceeds from the event enhance the Groundwork Elizabeth MicroFarm’s learning gardens and help provide accompanying education to create a sustainable and equitable community.
